Remember that one time there was a troll in the dungeon? And that other time Filch’s cat almost died but didn’t? And how could we forget that time Sirius Black nearly stabbed Ron? Simply put, Halloween at Hogwarts is a grab bag of nightmares.

There are lots of things I wish I knew about the wizarding world, like where Fawkes came from, how the owls know where to go, and whether or not a Basilisk would petrify itself if it looked in a mirror. But most of all, I wish I knew how the professors of Hogwarts felt about Halloween.

You're with me on this? Excellent. Then wonder no more, because I gave it some thought, and the result was this slideshow.
